Help with OPK's

[ZubZub]

Ok, so I've decided to try using OPK's and the one I got uses bands like a pg test. If the test band is lighter than the control band it's negative - it has to be the same or darker.

I used it today and it's lighter. Is it possible I've missed ov completely? I think I should be ov tomorrow but my temps are everywhere so I really don't know. How long does the LH surge take to decrease and give a lighter band? Should I only test once a day?

Thanks for helping me the clueless one!

It depends on a few factors. Do you hold your urine at least 3-4 hrs with minimal fluid intake? Drinking too much fluids and holding it shorter than 3 hrs can affect your results. FMU is not always recommended. I'd recommend testing every day at least once. I kept testing until I got a neg again. What CD did you start testing? It takes time for a pos OPK to show. It'll happen
